According to an [[apocryphal]] source (the German BattleTech novel ''[[Duo Infernale]]''), the fourth planet in the Carstairs system was named New Tucson. As of [[3061]] the habitable planet was the site of a major copper mining operation by [[FrictionTechInc.]] who had hired a small mercenary outfit consisting of seven [[BattleMech]]s and infantry for protection. The whole operation was a clandestine [[ComStar]] operation in search of a [[Star League]] facility on the planet. It was found, but the operation had been betrayed and on 9 April 3061 the mercenary base was wiped out in a surprise attack. Four nuclear bombs were stolen from the Star League cache and a fifth set to detonate with a timer, destroying the cache and (it is implied) the entire mining operation.
